      <h2>Here's a time line of Dr. Borlaug's life:</h2>
      <ul>
        <li><span class="bold">1914</span> - Born in Cresco, Iowa</li>
        <li><span class="bold">1914</span>- Leaves his family's farm to attend the University of Minnesota, thanks to a
          Depression era program known as the "National Youth Administration"</li>
        <li><span class="bold">1914</span> - Has to stop school and save up more money. Works in the Civilian
          Conservation Corps, helping starving Americans. "I saw how food changed them", he said. "All of this left
          scars on me."</li>
        <li><span class="bold">1914</span> - Finishes university and takes a job in the US Forestry Service</li>
        <li><span class="bold">1914</span> - Marries wife of 69 years Margret Gibson. Gets laid off due to budget cuts.
          Inspired by Elvin Charles Stakman, he returns to school study under Stakman, who teaches him about breeding
          pest-resistant plants.</li>
        <li><span class="bold">1914</span> - Tries to enroll in the military after the Pearl Harbor attack, but is
          rejected. Instead, the military asked his lab to work on waterproof glue, DDT to control malaria,
          disinfectants, and other applied science.</li>
        <li><span class="bold">1914</span> - Receives a Ph.D. in Genetics and Plant Pathology</li>
        <li><span class="bold">1914</span> - Rejects a 100% salary increase from Dupont, leaves behind his pregnant
          wife, and flies to Mexico to head a new plant pathology program. Over the next 16 years, his team breeds 6,000
          different strains of disease resistant wheat - including different varieties for each major climate on Earth.
        </li>
        <li><span class="bold">1914</span> - Discovers a way to grown wheat twice each season, doubling wheat yields
        </li>
        <li><span class="bold">1914</span> - crosses a short, sturdy dwarf breed of wheat with a high-yielding American
          breed, creating a strain that responds well to fertilizer. It goes on to provide 95% of Mexico's wheat.</li>
        <li><span class="bold">1914</span> - Visits Delhi and brings his high-yielding strains of wheat to the Indian
          subcontinent in time to help mitigate mass starvation due to a rapidly expanding population</li>
        <li><span class="bold">1914</span> - Visits Delhi and brings his high-yielding strains of wheat to the Indian
          subcontinent in time to help mitigate mass starvation due to a rapidly expanding population</li>
